[Stephen McInerney]

[Forwarding a very helpful reply from Kent Johnson on python-tutor.
I would greatly appreciate any other opinions on this or other books -

Kent> Quoting myself from the archives:

I recommend Robert Martin's
"Agile Software Development: Principles, Patterns, and Practices"
http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/bookstore/books/AgileSoftwareDevelopmentPPP

This is the best book I know for learning object-oriented design the
way I do it ;) - a very agile, pragmatic approach. It shows you the
nitty-gritty details of how to create classes as you develop a
solution. Also a good introduction to the agile development style.

Much of the content of the book is available as essays on the
ObjectMentor website: http://w

Some of the highlights from my bookshelf:

Martin, Agile Software Development

Fowler, Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code
